From the dawn of humanity, with its wild dangers, to the present days, overcoming wars, famines, epidemics and human folly... I can't say that I've never thought about it before, but it was more a distant idea.
But since September 2024 I see things differently: a little boy arrived to me.
And from the past last months it became an evidence to me: how on earth the mankind survived through the ages?
In the last 8 months I can count on my fingers the nights where I was able to sleep. I'm more someone who need to sleep 8 to 10hours per night, I'm more someone able to nap 4hours in the afternoon... Now, I'm more like a zombies.
In another time not being able to get a real night's sleep, being tired all the day, everyday, was probably a significant factor in our passing from life to death sooner than expected.
Feeding is also a thing. Fortunately, at the supermarket we have baby food and infant formula milk. I've tried to cook by myself: carrots, spinach, broccoli, potatoes, pumpkin, green peas, French beans, chicken, fish, ... it's time-eager! A lot more than cooking for myself for a mitigated result... Also cooking while the little one is crying because hungry is like Hell.
